Its story
Also in Taurus, a yellow star of the Sun's kind burns 335 light-years away. Tonight's light departed around 1691, when Newton was publishing his Principia and shaping the laws that still steer interplanetary probes. A G-type like the Sun, only somewhat older and larger, seen from far away as a steady point.
